Saturday, April 28, 1900 Rev. Ebenezer Greenleaf Parsons, aged 87 years, died at his home, Derry Village, at a little before 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. His death was caused by apoplexy. Pinkerton academy and the educational and religious interest of Derry owe very much to the labors of Mr. Parsons. For forty-five years he has been more or less closely identified with the academy, and few men have contributed more to its success than he. Mr. Parsons was born in Westport, Me., May 15, 1813, and was graduated at Bowdoin college in 1833, and at Bangor Theological seminary four years later. He served the Congregational church in Freeport, Me., as pastor for fourteen years and also served the Congregational church in Derry eighteen years, resigning in October, 1869.

After the close of his ministry in Derry, in 1869, he was principal of the Pinkerton academy for three years and of Dummer academy, Byfield, Mass., ten years. Upon the death of John Morrison Pinkerton in 1881, Mr. Parsons was elected president of Pinkerton academy, and since has occupied that office. As members of the board of trustees for forty-five years, a large part of the time serving on the executive committee as chairman or as member, he has been enabled to accomplish much for the institution. In addition to his other duties Mr. Parsons has been a member of the Bowdoin college since 1864, and for a number of years was one of the examiners of the college. In 1840 Mr. Parsons was married to Miss Caroline Mellen Nye of Freeport, Me., who died in 1862, leaving two children as fruit of their union: Caroline Nye, wife of Frank G.
